A few more neighborly actions into next week

Volunteer to vaccinate, vaccines for restaurant workers, marijuana equity & justice, and a march for Adam Toledo.

Hi, everyone. Things keep happening, as they often do. Here are a few more things to do with and for our neighbors this week.

TOMORROW, 4/17, starting 7:30am (sign up TODAY), Providence Career and Technical Academy (41 Fricker St, Providence): If you’ve already had all the COVID vaccinations you need for the moment, can you volunteer to help others get theirs? Tomorrow’s clinic just off Westminster St is looking for non-medical volunteers. Sign up here.

4/19, 9am-9pm, Clinica Esperanza (60 Valley St #104, Providence): If you live in Providence and work in a restaurant, there is a vaccine clinic just for you this Monday—and every Monday until all the city’s restaurant workers are vaccinated. Message them here for your appointment. Bring a pay stub, a schedule that shows your name, or a note from your boss that includes your name. Please share with friends and family who do this work, and if they don’t Facebook but you do, help them sign up if they want to.

4/19, 6pm, RI State House, Providence: Join your neighbors to remember, mourn & rage for Adam Toledo, the thirteen-year-old boy murdered by Chicago police. Bring a candle.

Also, today is a good day to donate to the FANG Bail Fund.

4/20 (god bless), 6pm, RI State House, Providence: Rally for just marijuana policy that expunges (erases) convictions, prioritizes worker-owned cooperatives, and provides for the formation of unions. Recreational weed legislation seems goofier if you’re white because you’re less likely to get locked up for it. Let’s get just and equitable policy in place now in time for legalization later this year.

Sorry to keep these coming so fast—there will probably be more next week, too.

With love,
Kate
